Real Madrid secured a dominant victory over Brest on Wednesday, but it was not enough to qualify directly for the Champions League last 16. Instead, the defending champions will have to play a play-off tie next month.

Carlo Ancelotti praised his team’s performance, highlighting their control, compactness, and attacking efficiency.

Rodrygo Goes was the standout performer, scoring twice to continue his impressive form. Ancelotti compared his contributions to those of Bellingham and Mbappe, emphasizing the team’s attacking depth.

Madrid will face either Manchester City or Celtic in the play-offs, with Ancelotti admitting that City would be a tougher challenge.

Despite the setback, Madrid remains a formidable force, having proven last season that they can beat Europe’s best in consecutive knockout ties.
